Juewei Mountain’s red leaves, famed as one of the "Eight Views of Ancient Jinyang," transform into a breathtaking spectacle of layered crimson foliage each year around the Frost's Descent. The red leaves are currently at their peak viewing period.

This year's "Juewei Mountain Red Leaves" series runs from mid-October to mid-November, featuring four main segments with 12 activities. Beyond cultural and tourism events, the series includes a calligraphy and painting exhibition, an online intangible cultural heritage challenge, and a croquet competition. 

The series is also partnering with Taiyuan Outlets to launch the golden autumn consumption season, blending cultural tourism with shopping.
